CALOCHORTUS, or more popularly known as the Butterfly or Mariposa Tulips, Globe Tulips 
and Star Tulips. These lovely Californian bulbs, although belonging to the same Natural Order 
as the Tulips of our gardens, bear little resemblance to them. They flower through June and July, 
and for delicacy of texture and brilliancy 
of colour are unsurpassed ; they deserve 
a place in every hardy flower border and 
rock garden. 
As cut flowers the Calochorti are of 
great value, the flowers lasting well and 
the buds opening readily in water; the 
varieties in the Mariposa or Butterfly 
section are especially suitalflc to cut, 
having long stems and being profuse 
continuous bloomers. Tliey all make 
charming pot-plants (several bulbs in a 
pot) for the cool greenhouse or Cape pit. 
Culture Outdoors. — 77/^ Calo- 
chorti arc all quite hardy. 'I he “ Mari- 
posa” and “Star Tulips” require a 
sunny position and light gritty or sandy 
soil on slightly raised beds to ensure per- 
fect drainage ; plant from September to 
end of November, 2 to 3 inches deep, 
and 3 inches apart. Cover the beds after 
planting with straw or cut heather, to 
keep surface sweet and as a protection 
in case of early growth; remove the 
covering in March. A position facing 
south and sunny spots on the rockery are 
specially suitable. When in full growth 
give occasional soakings of water, but not 
too frequently. After flowering, ripen off 
by placing glass over them, and take up 
when foliage dies down. 
The “Globe Tulips,” being wood- 
land plants, like partial shade and a porous 
soil composed principally of leaf mould.
